The education team in La Rioja have a good number of videos they want to ship on the laptops and servers. After the initial "argh the XO's cant play AVI" panic, I showed them how to convert to theora+vorbis on their regular PCs. No problems there.
Unfortunately the next steps did not go so smoothly. We put a freshly recorded 7mb ogg video on USB, plugged it into the laptop, and opened it from the Journal. The Browse activity came up but really struggled to play the video. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10152 In fact, in addition to being really choppy, it consistently stopped about 1/3 of the way through the video, with the spinner thing in the center of the video as if it were streaming a video from online and needed to download some more. The journal also gives you the option of opening the video in EToys, but this doesn't work. http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10151 The video does work absolutely great in the Jukebox activity. But Jukebox is a story of its own. Firstly it doesn't associate mimetypes so you can't open a video in Jukebox from the journal http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1384 Secondly when you open it from the home view, it doesn't pop up the object chooser, it just gives you a blank screen and gives you the challenge of finding the "Open" button yourself http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1385 Thirdly it doesn't inhibit suspend, so the machine goes to sleep during playback (should I file a bug?) We're running something really close to 10.1.1 build 202. Daniel _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
